A monomino is a polyomino of order 1, that is, a polygon in the plane made of one equal-sized square. [1] When rotations and reflections are not considered to be distinct shapes, there is only one free monomino.

In other words, monomino just means a square.

Since it has reflection symmetry, it is also the only one-sided domino (with reflections considered distinct). When rotations are also considered distinct, there is still one fixed monomino.

Packing and tiling

Monominos can tile the plane in only one way.
